If I were purely rating the drone part of the show and not the evening as a whole, this would be a 5/5 review. The show was well choreographed, immersive and had a basic but well narrated story to go alongside it. The entertainment before the drone show was not great and felt like more of an excuse to get people in early to provide enough trade to justify the fairground rides and expensive food. Granted it was a very cold evening and it must have been hard for the performers, who were not really dressed for outdoors, but it was a odd decision to put on a totally uncovered outdoor stage for an event in March. Had it rained then I assume there would've been no entertainment at all before the drone show.On-site food was expensive (£9 for doughnuts, £4.50 for a hot chocolate, £7.50 for a beer) so we begrudgingly opted to pay the additional "bring your own picnic" surcharge, mainly because it was the only way to bring in a camping chair. Ironically, we would've spent more money at the event if chairs were allowed without an additional fee as we wouldn't have brought our own picnic!I was aggrieved to have to pay £7 for parking when you essentially have no choice but to park. Public transport to the showground is very poor except for major event days like The Lincolnshire Show, when there are dedicated services running. Parking was at least well organised on the way in, with plenty of attendants to guide drivers to a parking spot. Unfortunately, although not uncommon with events at the showground, they all seemed to have disappeared come leaving time and it was essentially a free for all to get to the exit. The only attendant that I saw doing anything for vehicle traffic as we left was the one at the main gate to direct two flows of traffic.Would consider going again but wouldn't bother turning up early for the music acts. Just about worth the money for the drone show, if you have a full car and can justify £7 to park.
Although a bitterly cold night a good show felt sorry for the acts on stage who could have done with some protection from the extremely cold wind.Could have done with more hot drink outlets queuing 30 minutes for a cup of coffee seemed a bit extreme.
Brilliant little fair for kids (and adults!) To play on while waiting for the drone show, made it a nice evening experience instead of just the drone show. Great choice of food types available. The drone show itself was absolutely fantastic! The kids absolutely loved it and I find myself going ooh at the fantastic imagery in the sky. The story behind the show was brilliant too!! Will be looking out for different themed drone shows in the future 😀 awesome to see something so different in lincolnDelay was needed for health and safety reasons anyone who doesnt appreciate that needs to research the things that can happen when health and safety is ignored!
We had a wonderful time. I obviously understood that booking tickets for an outside event In march would mean a very cold evening. So we all wrapped up for the event. It was cold as expected. The drone show was fantastic and very well done however it was only 20 ish minutes long and so it was a very long and cold afternoon/evening for a 20 minute show. There were fairground rides but these were £5 ago! We did have a few rides of course. There were a few singers, a local artist who was very good, an ABBA tribute (missing 2 members) and Taylor swift tribute. They were all very good but unfortunately you could just about see them if you were at the front of the railings as the stage was low and small and far away and for fear of sounding old, it was very loud by the railings. I think a few additional entertainers amongst the fair would have really finished of the event nicely, like a magician, stilt walkers etc or some light up safari animal statues that people could take pictures with throughout the evening. Or even an area where someone from the show had drones to show how they work and how the show was developed and what other shows they might be developing. Overall the tickets were reasonably priced and we had a good time.
Very disappointed at Lincoln Showground. This was an expensive event. £23 for adults and £18 for children plus extra costing for taking your own chairs and picnic. £5 per child on the rides and £ 15 for one pizza . Although we cannot lasher the weather, It was freezing. The drone safari was due to start at 7.30 pm. This is too late if taking small children, may be starting it at 7 pm would have been bettter as it was dark then. To top it all the drone show was put back an hour at the last minute according to high winds. far too late to late to be in the extreme cold and for small children . We had to leave as children were very tired.. Will never be going to an event at Lincolnshire showground again.
Firstly, I booked a disabled ticket.. however no provision was made for disabled or limited mobility guests.. the car park was exactly the same distance from the venue than the able bodied carpark directly at the side!..the walk was a good distance on uneven grass, soil and sand. Pushing a wheelchair was almost impossible! There were no disabled toilets we could find and the staff had no clue.Secondly, the original advert advertised a family orientated evening.. bring a picnic etc. 24 hrs before the event we were sent an email saying a picnic ticket would have to be purchased at nearly £4 a head! .. this was to include bringing a seat! ... asking people to actually pay to sit and eat thier own food! Really??? This was compounded by the cost of the on site food! Chicken and chips in cardboard £16!! Daylight robbery! We are a family of 8! Who can afford that??.. Added to the cost of the only entertainment ie the Funfair £5 for kids rides and £10 for the adult rides!! We had some very sad, bored and disappointed kids! What is family friendly about those costs when the cost of living is through the roof! Having to entertain 3 kids for an extra hour just added to the madness! On top of the freezing temperatures it made the whole evening just horrendous..And then the main event.. the drone show.. well wow.. is that really what we froze and paid through the nose for!! You really need to go back to the drawing board.. look at or better still visit Dubai drone shows, get some training and ideas that are worth paying for! I am not surprised people left in droves! I will not be surprised if your inundated with refund requests! Simply put, if you cant do it well and affordable... don't do it at all!
The actual drone show was spectacular and worth waiting for after a small delay. However I must comment on the venue… £7 to park in a field that was chaos on the way out in the dark and the food and drink on offer was extortionate prices. The weather was freezing and we had to stand for an hour to get a hot drink. The magic of the drones was slightly jaded for us.
The event started at 4 they were telling people to be there early we arrived for 4:30 it’s was absolutely freezing cold and they delayed the show on top of that they charged people per ride instead of doing like a band system where you pay so much for a band then ca go on the rides as you want because it’s a long time to wait for the show my 5 year old was to cold to see the show it’s was 5 pounds per ride for 2 children the food and drink was also excessively expensive and our experience was poor in general
